Artist Biography by Tom Demalon
With the breakup of Daddy Cool in 1975, guitarist Ross Wilson, who had
become a fixture on the Australian music scene, formed his own label with
Little River Band manager Glenn Wheatley. Within a year, Wilson had
released his first single and put together the initial lineup of Mondo
Rock, but despite securing a following for live performances, the group
split before issuing any material. It wasn't until mid-1978 that Mondo
Rock, with Wilson helming a new incarnation, released a single with "The
Fugitive Kind." For the next several years, Mondo Rock went through a
series of lineups, but it also became one of the more popular acts in
Australia, particularly as a live act. In 1982, Mondo Rock released its
debut U.S. single, "State of the Heart," and although it failed to chart,
it would become a Top 30 hit for Rick Springfield three years later. The
group continued its run of success in Australia, though, charting with
albums like Nuovo Mondo (1982) and The Modern Bop (1984), notching hit
singles with "No Time,""Come Said the Boy," and "Primitive Love Rites."
The latter became a minor hit in the States, reaching number 71 in the
spring of 1987. Wilson took time off from the band to record a solo effort,
Dark Side of the Man, which was released in 1989, regrouping Mondo Rock for
Why Fight It two years later. However, the album made little impact and
Wilson pulled the plug on Mondo Rock to pursue other projects.Tracklist:
1. Question Time
2. Down To Earth
3. Primal Park
4. Searching For My Baby
5. Tell Me
6. Toughen Up
